Auto-byteswitching IDE Adapter for the Atari Falcon

44-pin 2mm pitch IDE host to two device adapter supporting cable select with automatic physical byte swapping

Atari Falcon

This adapter is intended for use in my Atari Falcon which has an 44-pin 2mm-pitch IDE connection soldered to the board with only one connector for a hard disc.

This allows two discs to be added to the Falcon, if they support running in master/slave configuration, either via jumpers on the discs, or via cable select, which this board supports.

Byte Swap

This board also automatically swaps data bytes which a suitable hard disc driver on the atari can make use of for faster interoperability with modern machines.
